Merson, on the other hand, believes Chelsea or Liverpool will win the Champions League this season.

He made the remarks following Liverpool’s Carabao Cup final victory over Chelsea on Sunday.

“I saw the game yesterday, and those two aren’t a million miles away from winning the Champions League.” They have Europe’s best two defenses, and if you want to win the Champions League over two legs, you have to keep clean sheets,” Merson told Sky Sports.

“I believe those teams will have ammunition going forward.” People will say, “Well, it was a 0-0,” but was it really a 0-0 game? It was fantastic. Excellent goalkeeping, defending, and center-forward play. Not great finishing, but it just goes to show that both teams are in the hunt for the Champions League.

“One of the two [winners].” They’re fantastic in the back. I follow Manchester City, and they will give you a chance.

“I believe Liverpool has a better chance of winning the Champions League than they do of winning the Premier League.” They can lose three more Champions League games and still win the competition, but if they lose three Premier League games, they are out. In the Premier League, they have no leeway,” Merson added.

After winning the Champions League, Kylian Mbappé is expected to be announced as a new signing by Real Madrid the following week.

As per media reports, Kylian Mbappé joined Real Madrid from Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer. “.. I wanted to announce to you all that it’s my last year at Paris Saint-Germain. I will not extend and the adventure will come to an end in a few weeks. I will play my last game as Parc des Princes on Sunday,” Mbappe said in a video statement on X.

“It’s a lot of emotions. (For) many years I had the chance and great honour to be a member of the biggest French club, one of the best in the world which allowed me to travel here,” Mbappe added.

“It’s hard and I never thought it would be this difficult to announce that I will leave the country, France, the league and the Championship. But I think, I needed this, a new challenge after seven years.”
